Unfortunately most people are utter slaves of convenience, they'd gladly suffer 30 seconds of unskippable ads every time they open the start menu rather than re-learn how a different operating system works - doing the latter has a (potentially) massive ROI, but it is quite a big step, and that's what gets them

    I've never seen an ad in Windows itself. Not sure how people are getting that.

  • Just to be clear: while I've seen ads in one form or another in every (non-LTSC) installation of Windows 10 and 11 I've ever made, I'm not claiming that Windows 11 actually shows unskippable ads (in video format) when using the start menu yet, that was a hyperbole.
